What else can I feed my Chameleon?

I have a chameleon who is about 14 months old. He doesn't like to eat worms, other then silk worms, and I want to give him more of a variety of food other then crickets. We have tried to give him greens but he didn't eat them either. I was wondering what else I could try to feed him as the pet stores by me don't sell silk worms anymore. Also are there any kinds of 'treats' for chameleons, like dogs get milk bones, is there anything like that for a chameleon?
 
Locusts are a good staple, not just treats, so if he likes them give them.
Waxworms and meal worms are used as treats by some.
You could try dubia roaches(unless in Florida, where it hear they're illegal).
Check the care sheets where it will give you good feeder info.
A good gut load is recommended too for your feeders.

you may need to order bugs online and/or start raising your own prey if your local stores aren't selling much variety.
